Wonderful cottage in a perfect location.

We have just returned from a flawless week staying in Miners Cottage. It was everything we could have asked for! Cosy, clean, well equipped and in a great location.
When we arrived, everything was spotless. The kitchen was well equipped, and the added extras such as the docking station and washing machine were very useful. The wifi was great, especially for planning our day and keeping in touch with home. Nice to have a good TV and DVD player, we enjoyed relaxing watching Breaking Bad in front of the roaring log fire! We bought logs from the neighbour down the street. Reasonable and lasted all week.
The parking and street were tight, but we have a Land Rover and managed fine! The designated parking space easily fitted two cars. The front garden was lovely. Very well kept and nice to have a big table and chairs. Wonderful views too, which were lovely to wake up to. The back garden/area was good too, enough space for the dog to go out in the morning. Nice to see the birds feeding, and also enough room for a disposable BBQ!
The cottage is in a great location. Just a ten minute walk into the centre of Coniston town / the Coniston Lake & Bluebird Cafe and lots of lovely walks! Also a short drive to Hawkshead/Grizedale etc. BP with Spar off licence & chip shop nearby which are very handy.
Would absolutely recommend...We have just returned from a flawless week staying in Miners Cottage. It was everything we could have asked for! Cosy, clean, well equipped and in a great location.

We pulled up outside Miners Cottage on a dark wet Friday evening and upon opening the door the kids were whooping with delight and excitement. We instantly felt at home in this cottage and the toughest part of the trip was saying goodbye to the place!The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing holiday and the owners have done a wonderful job in restoring it. The views from the bedroom windows are awesome and with the added advantage of a comfy window seat in each one this soon became the place to sit and read a book or simply admire the view.We got our wood supply from No 30 and the log fire was a hit with all of us especially the dog! So much thought has gone into making sure the cottage has everything you need including local history books, games & an ipod docking station/radio. We had arranged for our shopping to be delivered on the Saturday and made good use of the slow cooker which was a blessing to come back to after a full day walking. This was our first visit to Coniston & Miners Cottage and it wont be our last. The Black Bull became our favourite drinking hole as after a full days walking we found the staff & locals to be incredibly welcoming and the real ales were epic!As previously mentioned yes the cottage is high up but as long as you are reasonably fit the views you get make the hill more than worthwhile and the kids never found it a problem.Wonderful stay in an outstanding home from home. Wish we could go back tomorrow.

Miner's cottage was so warm, clean and comfortable it was a real treat to spend a holiday there. We enjoyed many fabulous walks from the cottage, cosy and welcoming pubs/cafes in and around Coniston, and relaxing mornings taking in the views over the lake.It was a great holiday and we are very keen to go back.
